The campaign on the issue of changing the voting system to AV has been full of lies or, at least, full of allegations that the "no" campaign have been lying. Let me say right now that I am opposed to the change and I will be voting "no" on Thursday so you are quite clear where I stand.
I don't think AV will help extremist parties or even moderate small parties like the Greens and UKIP but it will undoubtedly help the Libdems and I think it has now become obvious that there is a feeling amongst senior Libdems that the main purpose of AV is to reduce the chances of the Conservatives ever being able to form a government again leaving the field open to a semi-permanent "progressive" coalition (whatever "progressive" may mean) of Libdems and Labour. How will the voters ever get rid of them?
